Time for another update before I lose track ...
I didn't get a picture of the Mother's Day card I made
April Fairy (Lesley Teare)
Zoo book ... back cover (will add dedication when DD#2 has a baby ... this is for my "hope chest")
A little motif for my CCS tool box (Floss Daily by Angelic Stitches by Velda)
Fruit motifs wall hanging collage (I need to figure out how to hang the rest of them without putting nails in the paneling. The first one is stuck with double backed tape to an empty outlet cover that I wanted to hide.) These charts were free from Charles Craft. I finished the first two last year.
I've also done a few more Christmas ornament motifs like the ones shown previously and am working on a Nature's Harmony chart from a Stoney Creek magazine.
Thanks for taking a peek!

Beautiful finishes! I really like how you mounted the fruit and good luck finding a safe way to mount them.

I love your cards. You finished them beautifully. However, I totally adore your outlet covers. I never would have thought of that, but now I've got ideas swirling around in my head. You are extremely creative.

Greetings!
Update:
I've been working on Lesley Teare's monthly fairies and keeping up nicely. I just finished the June chart. Still working on Nature's Harmony (which is a big project for me). Decided not to do the wedding chart (made placemats and napkins as gift instead) and I'm not keeping up with CCS charts for all the greeting cards, so some of them are being made with embroidery machine designs and/or computer-generated cards. Father's Day cards this year will not have CCS motifs.
So besides keeping up with the monthly fairies, DD#1 has announced that she is pregnant. I'm going to be making some Advent ornaments with the idea of giving one ornament a year to the baby (first Christmas/second Christmas/etc.) I'll have 24 or 25 in all. I am doing that with my first grandchild using Ellen Mauer Stoh's free charts. Those are all done, so I just need to pull one out each year to give her. I also have some Christian-themed ornaments to give her every year on the anniversary of her baptism. So I have some "traditions" to keep up with for grandchild #2.

They are all nice but the fruits are outstanding, very well done. Great way you've finished them off. You must be thrilled with them.

Definitely outstanding fruits finishes and I know you will come up with some way to mount them.
I am in awe of your stash of gifts for grand child #1 and yes you had better make a start on similar gifts for grand child #2. You are so organised and so amazing.

Awesome stitching and such lovely Christmas ones it is hard to make a choice. You are certainly well ahead with these already completed. The fairies are gorgeous, such lovely soft colours in them. A fabulous update
